The Democratic race, in chart form, according to the new CNN/Opinion Research national poll. Hillary Clinton’s closing in on the fifty percent mark. My not-backed-up-by-evidence guess would be that undecided voters are very susceptible to “bounce” effects, but people who’ve psychologically committed themselves to a candidate aren’t. In short, even winning in Nevada and South Carolina may not give Barack Obama what he needs.
